The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

A little disappointed in this - aside from a few entertaining scenes, it doesn't seem like this is a classic that is well worth reading again (which apparently, Twain himself agrees vastly preferring the sequel which is more fondly remembered). It's pretty aimless as to reflect the tedium of every day life in a southern town, but it's not exactly the most entertaining - even with the spin of the children's POV. The subplots are entertaining enough, but it just feels like a series of vignettes with an overarching plot thrown in. There is however an interesting villain that they throw in, but there's not much development in that regard.

It's just good.
